Transplanted to a 5 gallon smart pot about 2 weeks ago in fox farms/roots organic/ ancient forest soil mixture. I water them with tap water measured at 6.0 pH with GH Flora series of recommended amounts about every 3 days and I give each plant enough to start slightly drip from the bottom(usually around a little under a gallon maybe 3/4 of a Gal)

The spots might be the soil being a little rich and adding nutrients this early.

The proper PH for soil is 7, for hydroponics its 6.0 to 6.3 and for rock-wool its 5.5 to 6.3. Also you should use one third to half strength GH Flora when in soil.

Your PH is too low.

I use GH Flora and rock-wool and had the same issue of yellowing leafs from the tips back when my PH fell below 5.3.

As for the tiny flies the most likely answer is gnats from the soil these tend to be harmless.


FYI a humidity below 50% during flowering increases the THC level in the plants. One of the many things I learned touring my local 1 million square foot grow operation that just opened its doors down the street from me.
